Thing 17

I like having a Wiki because it is the cool thing to have right not, but I don't have a way to use it in my classes...yet. I am fascinated when my daughter logs into her English teacher's Wiki to get assignments and information. I would love to do something like that, but it is easier if you are an English teacher and I am a math teacher......

Perhaps I could do a problem of the day and have the students reply with possible answers--then I would do the problem in class and give extra credit to the students that logged answers. That would give the students an opportunity to learn about Wiki's and spend some extra time working on math. But the first student that answered the problem would record the answer on the page and inform the other students of the answer. Maybe they could email the answer, but that would defeat the purpose of the Wiki ---the ability to edit/add information. I could just use a blog for informing the students of the problem of the day. Perhaps I could create a problem that the students would need to ask for more information to solve. Let me think about this......
